2002 Summary:
The purpose of this study (2003 component) is to examine the fossilized types of corals that are found in the regional geological formations. Locally these corals coalesced to form mini-reefs, with interesting ecological characteristics. From the study...

Summary:
The objective of the research is to supplement and extend instrumental climatological and hydrological records in the NWT using dendrochronology (tree-ring) and varved lake sediment analysis. Transportation to the site will be by charter aircraft from Fo...

2002
Summary:
The study will attempt to reconstruct the past 10,000 year geomorphological and hydrological history of the Mackenzie River using sedimentological records of fluvial deposits. The researcher will travel by Zodiac boat from Jean-Marie River to Point Separ...

1990 Summary:
The Researchers will use ground penetrating radar to conduct surveys on the surface of the delta plains. The radar waves are similar to FM radio waves in their frequency. Measurements wll be taken every 1 - 2 meters in the sample area by placing fiberglass boards on the surface....

1990 Summary:
The Researchers will collect small samples of surficial materials for sedimentological, geochemical and paleoecological analysis. They will map, describe and explain the unconsolidated deposits, landforms, permafrost and organic cover and study patterns of glacial dispersal and drift geochemistry....

Summary:
The Researcher and team will study the sediments ( mud and sand) in river cutbanks to reconstruct the paleogeography (river history) of the Nahanni Butte topographic basin....

1988
Summary:
Dr. Smith and his two students are trying to find out the extent of a glacial lake that once stretched from the Redstone River to Fort Good Hope. They are collecting samples of ancient, buried plant material from river cutbanks to see how old these deposits are and to determine what kinds of plants once grew along the western shores of the lake long ago....

Summary:
To conduct aerial photography surveys to identify ice jams with resultant flooding. To conduct aerial photography to identify potential non-Mackenzie Valley pipeline routes. To obtain water samples to determine sediment loads carried by the river at various times and locations....
